Bitten by the lace bug...

Hey guys (and ladies)-
So a few months ago, I did Brooklyn Tweed's "Juneberry Triangle." My first lace attempt, and I loved it.

Now I'd really like to do a lace scarf, but I can't seem to find the perfect pattern. I really like the dimension of the Juneberry- it's got some cabley- viney (new words.... whatever!) interest to it that I'm really attracted to. Any thoughts? Suggestions? I'd appreciate 'em.

I usually find a lace pattern I like and set up a swatch. Then I border it in garter stitch [or seed stitch] and do a panel of lace. Sharon Miller's Heirloom Lace is a good start, as is the Vogue Stitch Dictionary. Or Barbara Walker, if you have access. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.
